"Ignorance of ongoing American political violence through national, class
or racial privilege hardly erases its facts from those who experience
it.....Use of this ignorance as a political wedge by
posing a few angry Democratic convention delegates in Nevada as the ugly
underbelly of American politics is as cynical as it is ignorant of life
as it is lived by most people. The U.S. destruction of the Middle East,
with Hillary Clinton as prime mover in recent history, is ugly
political violence. The mass incarceration which the Clintons helped
engineer for political gain is ugly political violence. The jobs lost
through Bill Clinton’s passage of NAFTA is ugly political violence. A
few righteously pissed Democrats in Nevada doesn’t rise to the level of a
bar fight, let alone a political debacle for those involved."
